Dr. Goodwin is an excellent physician. I felt heard, supported. We discussed a potential UTI and she and her team worked to try to test me then so that I could begin medication as soon as possible so it did not linger. I appreciated that extra effort and care. Overall I have been fortunate enough to have an excellent health care team and Dr. Goodwin is certainly one of the stars of that team. In addition to this visit, I had previously reached out to Dr. Goodwin upon receiving a tough diagnosis and she will never know what that phone call and time meant to me. It made all the difference in getting me ready to walk through it and get it addressed. Thank you, Dr. Goodwin!

The NP was very informative and very knowledgeable but our interaction felt a bit cold and kind of in a rush. As a new mom it was a lot to process.
